Professional sports owners have no shame. In Washington, the new owners of the Washington Nationals, the Lerner family, is withholding its rent payments to the city because their new stadium- which they’ve been using – is “substantially incomplete.” As if to add insult to injury, the Lerners are also seeking $100,000 per day in damages from the city.

 

That’s the thanks the city gets for building and paying for a $611 million state of the art baseball facility that was in time for opening day.

 

The Lerner’s largesse knows know bounds. This story reveals that they even wanted the city to pay for the team’s uniforms?!
